“Just more plastic junk, but c’mon,”
Our Community Engagement Coordinator Sarah Lyman responded, remarking on how timely his observation was. “Good thing the International Coastal Cleanup day is on September 15th, 2018.”
Friends of Casco Bay Staffer Will Everitt wrote, “Today was a #ColorbyNumbersday so I measured color at #Portland‘s East End boat launch. Green water, 6 to 8 on the Forel-Ule scale.”
Many of our Volunteers also participate in our Color by Numbers citizen science project. They use the EyeOnWater – Color app to compare the color of the water against a century-old oceanographic tool called the Forel-Ule color scale. Thisindex of 21 colors—from blue to brown—measures color as a revealing indicator of the health of oceans and lakes.
We like to see the beautiful photos, too! Sandy M shared this post of the September 22nd sunset.
